Cannon theme

[@Loverboy19691]

Looking at this and other stuff from the 1970's is like going back to a different world compared to what it is today.

[@TruthTellert63]

Yes -- a better one.

[@wdh47211]

We loved this show growing up......I loved Cannon because he drove a Lincoln Mark IV.....Too cool.

[@rovertaw22]

Had a mobile phone in the Lincoln too

[@nsnopper]

The number of Star Trek alumni that appeared in the Quinn Martin productions is fun to see. Sharon Acker was Odona in The Mark of Gideon. Had I been Kirk, I’d have dumped The Enterprise in a heartbeat to stay with her.

[@Huggybear64]

The opening gives me fond memories of childhood.

[@gypsylotusblossom777]

Me too I used to tease my kid sister and chase her around and sing the theme to her and call her fat Cannonball fat Cannonball fat Cannonball and then I would hum the theme and sing it Da Da Da Da Da Da Da CANNON! 😆😂😉😁I still chuckle till this day😃 and my sister still wants to kill me every time I tease her about when we were kids. Those were the days. THANKS CANNON!!!!😁😉😎🙋💋

[@jdjeep46]

Me too. Born in 1960. Back when TV was great

[@walterschivo9123]

Where in this episode, Cannon would get the first of MANY INJURIES in doing Cannon when trying to stop bad guys, but sometimes, the bad guys got the JUMP on him!

[@robfinlay8058]

Guest star Vincent Van Patten would go on to star in "Baywatch" he played Lt. Stephanie Holden's dermatologist boyfriend.

[@thomascollins4325]

Love this theme!!! Great trombone part!

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Think they were a riff on his fatness

[@thomascollins4325]

@@nicholasschroeder3678 Undoubtedly!

[@darrenschivo9609]

That was on at 3am today. Intense episode. This was a good show.

[@rovertaw22]

ME-TV's current overnight lineup is fantastic - Perry Mason/Twilight Zone/Hitchcock/Mannix/Cannon/Barnaby

[@kenperkins7921]

My favorite episode!

[@kresblain]

@spacepatrolman John Parker wrote the music for "Cannon." It was a quite memorable score with the use of the tuba in some of Bill Conrad's scenes. Parker also did the themes from "CHiPs" and "Trapper John M.D."

[@gypsylotusblossom777]

Ha ha ha The Tuba was denoting his fatness ha ha ha! On the money$$😂 I got a huge kick out of him!😁😂👍he was and still is my boy!😎😉

[@jscott1000]

I used to call this "fat Music" because the tuba made it sound fat.

[@diapertommy]

Out of all the openings to Cannon, This my favorite and the BEST!

[@amitypredator9385]

Anyone else think his theme sounds like a 70s Hanna -Barberra cartoon theme?

[@stewartlynch7859]

+Bessie D. Actually, whenever I hear the first seconds of the old Jonny Quest theme, I can picture the intro to Barnaby Jones in my head.

[@cbl1984]

Nope. I think this sounds great. Shows had great theme songs back then, esp. cop shows!

[@amitypredator9385]

It can sound great and still sound like a cartoon theme though. To me, some of the arrangements fit very well with Yoga bear running through the forest with a picnic basket lol.

[@MrYoumatic]

A little bit like "The Pebbles and Bamm Bamm Show", particularly the horn arrangement that reminded me of that program. Coincidentally both "Cannon" and "Pebbles & BB" debuted on CBS in September 1971.

[@coolsweetgroovy]

RIP william conrad

[@thisisajoke0]

This was literally on last night....this very episode

[@nsnopper]

It's too bad they never had an episode with Special Guest Stars Moose and Squirrel.

[@igettogonow2253]

Can we buy all cannon episodes on dvd?

[@michaelord988]

Yes indeed

[@dc4u54]

It was a who's who of sixties stars,

[@tranurse]

[@BURP39R]

Skeritt there! Bloody hell he looked old in Top Gun!

[@CraigFoye80]

What day of the week is "Cannon" airing on CBS during the early 1970's??

[@darrenschivo9609]

Following cannon was barnaby jones.

[@chrisutley2859]

Nope. Barnaby Jones started on Sunday after Mannix and moved to Thursday after Hawaii Five-O. Cannon started on Tuesday and later moved to Wednesday.

[@TomWayneWalks]

@@chrisutley2859 I am pretty sure Mannix was on Saturday nights bro. My 3 favorite detective shows, Mannix, Cannon and Barnaby Jones!

[@bobm7250]

[@ecwfan15108]
